The shooting of Republican lawmakers by a deranged leftist mad at President Trump is only the tip of the iceberg.

The hate and vitriol directed at Trump and the Republicans by the sorest losers in history is bordering on treasonous. These people have become completely unhinged, and the anger being stirred up by Democratic lawmakers and leaders is, in part, responsible for this act. When Obama won, the conservatives started the grassroots Tea Party to try and right the ship. When Trump won, the liberals panicked and have been trying to bring Trump and his administration down with incessant, unending attacks, baseless charges and outright lies. The left’s complete disregard for this country’s health, constitution, and system of government is despicable.
